International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) delegates, led by Dr. Claire Cousins, Chair of ICRP, were received by FMU President Shin-ichi Kikuchi and other FMU professors on 13 March 2017. They discussed the long and productive relationship between ICRP and FMU including remarkable progress in the Dialog Seminar series, most recently culminating in the 16th Dialog on March 12, which followed a March 11 study tour in the “Difficult-to-Return Zone” closest to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

After their visit to President Kikuchi’s office, ICRP delegates proceeded to FMU’s Office of International Cooperation for further discussions with FMU professors. Mr. Lochard of ICRP made a presentation on ICRP and its history with FMU, and the participants discussed future cooperation.
